DA inhibits neural death and mitigates behavior deficits after traumatic brain injury. A Representative photomicrographs of NeuN (blue) and cleaved-caspase-3 (green) in the ipsilateral hippocampus (n = 5/group). B Quantification of cleaved-caspase-3 fluorescence intensity in the ipsilateral hippocampus (n = 5/group). C, D Immunoblotting and quantification of NeuN in the ipsilateral hippocampus. E Neurological severity score (NSS, between DA- and vehicle-treated mice subjected to brain injury). F Novel object recognition (NOR). G-J Morris water maze (MWM). Graph showing hidden platform trial (G) and visible platform trials (H). Representative images (I) and quantification (J) of probe tests. E-J n = 25/group. All data are mean ± SD. V, vehicle
